1892 Picture

This is another of the wonderful pictures which I received a few weeks ago from my Aunt's estate. It is small and appears to be in a homemade frame, the glass is broken. I don't want to take it out as it would destroy the frame and maybe the picture inside. The names are written around the picture. They are left to right J.J. Long 18, T.J. Newby 14, and D.H. Newby 24. D. H. (David Henry)Newby was my Great Grandfather Newby, he was born in 1868 so this picture would have been taken about 1892. T.J.(Thomas) Newby was his brother, and J.J. Long was his brother in law.

Beautiful old photo, Harriet. Do you think you can find someone to restore that photo a little??? I'm sure there are places who can do that... It's a beautiful old photo --but you won't have it for too many more years if it keeps getting darker. Just my thoughts!!!!Hugs,Betsy

About Me

Welcome

Welcome to Genealogy Fun! On the side bar you will find the Surnames I’m researching. Most of the families I’m researching were from TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, and GEORGIA and a few Texas, Florida, Oregon, and Virginia. I can’t remember an exact time when I became interested in family history; it just always seemed to be there. Listening to family stories told by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles was always fun for me. My wish is that I could remember them all now. Genealogy isn’t boring in fact it is very exciting and my hope is to show others how exciting with my blog. Finding out where your ancestors lived, things they did and when possible what they looked like is a truly exciting hobby. I want to record stories, information and pictures that I’ve been able to collect. Connecting with other people researching the same families would be great. I feel that I’m such a beginner but I’m willing to share any information I have.
